Problems:

1. Tabs created from descriptions in kde_konsole_tabs_vpic are not created with
VNC_Sorrento_00 profile.
Instead, their profile appears to be empty or none.

2. Running above command creates 11 tabs, not 10 and the last tab does have
VNC_Sorrento_00 profile,
perhaps because that is marked as my default profile.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file to describe tabs similar to one listed above to use with
--tabs-from-file option
of konsole application.
2. Run a command similar to the konsole command posted above.
3. Using konsole Settings menu, edit a tab specified in the tab description
file and inspect name
of profile for that tab.

OBSERVED RESULT

1. Tabs created from descriptions in kde_konsole_tabs_vpic are not created with
VNC_Sorrento_00 profile.
Instead, their profile appears to be empty or none.

2. Running above command creates 11 tabs, not 10 and the last tab does have
VNC_Sorrento_00 profile,
perhaps because that is marked as my default profile.

EXPECTED RESULT

1. Only 10 tabs will be created and each will use the VNC_Sorrento_00 profile.
